The FDA has approved bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy for patients with recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

Translating current and emerging knowledge of the molecular drivers of ovarian cancer is yielding promising new insights into potential clinical targets, moving treatment away from historical paradigms in favor of more personalized therapeutic approaches.

PARP inhibitors represent an important class of emerging therapies for the treatment of patients with ovarian cancer and possibly other malignancies, but many scientific questions about the underlying molecular mechanisms that these agents target must be answered before they can be fully employed in clinical practice.

The combination of paclitaxel and the angiogenesis inhibitor trebananib did not demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in overall survival when compared with paclitaxel alone for patients with recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

The treatment of women with advanced ovarian cancer is set to undergo a substantial transformation, due to an explosion of clinical trials exploring novel treatment options.

A new method to identify protein mutations in cancer cells may help researchers create a personalized vaccine to treat patients with recurrent ovarian cancer.
